of death and the batelf
Jun. 15th, 2007 09:24 amThe memorial service is past and done. I wish I could've gone. That's one of the bad parts about moving away from where you grew up, people you knew die and you hear about it all secondhand, you do your grieving alone, and you never get the closure of any of the rituals like memorial services. It leaves me feeling isolated. This isn't the kind of drawback that occurs to you when you move away.
Escapism is good, of course. We like escapism.
Along those lines, I've been accepted to play Tyldak on an RP comm connected to DM. It's funny because I had been thinking about Tyldak again lately, and even done a little random wacky crossover RP with Bridgie with him a couple weeks ago.
For those not familiar with Tyldak, yes, he's a batelf in a giant furry thong. Perhaps in my RP I will uncover the ancient mysteries of Tyldak, such as 'how the hell does he go to the bathroom in that thing?', 'How does he eat?', and 'why hasn't he gotten frostbite by now?'
But seriously, I do worry about these things, because I'm a freak. I figure he's gotta be eating massive amounts of fruit, possibly in private because eating's awkward with no hands, and have the metabolism of a hummingbird. I've also been sketching him in difficult/awkward poses to figure out how he does basic day to day things Wendy Pini didn't show much, like, say, sitting down. Sleeping. Getting up again. Because really, he's designed for flying and standing around. I like the idea that Winnowill so mercilessly shaped him for that one goal that doing everything else is a little awkward.
